Hey Thanks Man!

[@raynyhus2026]

Only thing I can add is since you were already in there you should've changed the other axle seal. That way you start off fresh on both sides. As a former- retired mechanic, I always did everything in pairs. That way there was only a slim reoccurence to be a come back repair. Nice work, watching the fight on those drum screws makes me thankful for anti-sieze.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks Ray! I actually did replace it but I guess I didn't get it in the video...oops. Thank for the help!

Those types of bearings get greased from the differential lube , planetary bearings. It won’t hurt to put grease on them but you might want to check the differential lube level. Love your videos

[@joeythetruckguy]

I love the bus and videos. I think a Ford big block would be good for the old bus but I wouldn't bag it, I think it should be kept as close to original as possible.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I definitely don't want chop it up or ruin it. Just make it more drivable. Still just a thought 👍

[@Treeck57]

Hi guy. The brake job is always challenge but in the end, it could be very fun and learning. I did my first brake job with my minivan. I learned a lesson from it. I thought it would be hard for me but turned out to easy. I only had one small issue is I need some proper tools like thin open end wrench where brake disc area is so tight, not enough room. I really enjoyed watching your video as well as beautiful scenery!

Hey Thanks John! Little by little!

[@KurtClark]

Holy Moly that bus differential is beefy! I was amazing at how sturdy it was as you were taking it apart. It was a huge surprise to see tapered bearings in there! I would have thought something from the 1940s would have been ball bearing. But then I've never disassembled something that stout. Thanks for sharing!

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks! I was a bit surprised also. I should research to find out if it should have ball bearings or not.

[@engineresurrector2414]

Model t's from the 20s used tapered bearings.

[@rogercamp6071]

Fords used roller bearings for years while Chevrolet and others used ball bearings,I remember a homemade trailer that Dad built from a Chevrolet straight axle that he had adapted Ford hubs to because of the roller bearings

[@howiemook7701]

Just watched the replay , glad everything is coming apart with out too much trouble . If that bus was sitting here in Buffalo all those years , it would really be a pup getting those drums off ! Looking forward to the next video .M👀k out✌️

Don’t forget to refill the differential with gear oil before driving. I love the bus and the hard work to save this history!

Thanks Ben! I plan on draining the refilling it with fresh gear oil next.

if im not mistaken the rear axle bearings are lubed by the rear end oil make sure the right amount is in rear diff

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks for the advice! I'm going to drain out the old and refill with new gear oil.

[@dinopie3673]

I love this!! ❤️

[@warbed1]

Great videos by the way. Hope you don't mind a little help with the brakes. If you notice that there is more brake shoe material on one shoe then the other. Primary and secondary. primary pad has less material then the secondary so the secondary shoe is the shoe that does more braking. that being said it looks like the shoes that were on the bus were placed in reverse orientation. while going forward the primary shoe (less material) contacts the drum and the drum pushes the primary into the secondary shoe the secondary shoe then gets wedged between the drum and the anchor point. that's why the secondary shoe has more material. Hard to tell from the video if there is an anchor at the bottom were the pads attach or a floating adjuster that connects both pads. So if an adjuster that connects both pads at the bottom then the primary or less material shoe should be facing forward. if the solid or stationary anchor is at the bottom and both shoes rest against it with the wheel cylinder at the top then it should use all secondary shoes and no primary shoes. Make sure they give you the correct shoes.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks! I do appreciate the advice.

[@jdwoods22]

If you are going to do a chassis swap. Look for Chevy P30 Frame rails that match the body rails, they are flat, easy to find, and you can get parts easily. They came in Step vans, and motor homes.

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks! I was told that by someone else also! Thanks!

[@robertscott8227]

that was an oil bath bearing it didnt need packing . the inner lock nut rule of thumb when tightening 150lbs of torque back off to zero then 50lbs then back off then tighten a 1/4 turn put in your middle lock plate then tighten outer nut to 150lbs then fold over lock tabs this is how we did them in the shop. i was a class 8 truck tech for 32 yrs. now im retired . those outer counter sunk slotted screws usually come out easier with a impact driver and a little heat some time ya got to heat them up orange then back them out then when your going back together antiseive them .

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks Robert! That is the information I needed! I wasn't sure of the tightening process and the torque values. Hopefully packing the bearings with grease doesn't harm them. Thanks!

[@rupe53]

@@CountryBoyGasGarage ... been binge watching since I found the channel a few days ago. Some good stuff and not the usual "goombah moves" I usually see with so many guys. The grease will be ok and the diff oil will get out there once the rear is full, although I usually pump some in with an oil can during assembly. The tightening torque the other guy recommended is a little on the high side for these small vehicles but the idea is the same. Tighten maybe 100 lbs, spin the wheel, back off and tighten 50 lbs, spin the wheel. The last step, some will say to back off 1/8 turn. My personal touch is back off and tighten by finger, spin the wheel and tighten by finger again. IOW, get out all the slack you can feel by hand, then install your locking plates. This always worked for me over my 50 years in the field.

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Cool video bro

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Hey Thanks!

[@stephensaasen8589]

Looks great. I know that thing sat for a long time but you might want to check your differential oil level. Those axles came out awful dry and normally they're covered in 90wt. Also hope you put a little grease on those new hub seals. They burn up if they're dry.
